    Documenting for another nurse?

    xoemmylouox replied to Barnstormin' PMHNP's topic in General Nursing

    What do they expect her to document? She may have to get to know ALL of the residents at that facility to document safely and legally. Such is the joy of being an RN

    Unrealistic expectations: Theirs or Mine?

    xoemmylouox replied to maxxilla's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Sounds like that is way too much for one person if you have surgeries everyday. Maybe discuss this with surgeons. Especially when you point out that you cannot train their new nurse correctly unless...

    Question regarding "full code" status

    xoemmylouox replied to mlc42's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like a poorly thought out policy. If someone is full code typically the policy is to attempt CPR until an ambulance arrives. Sounds like the facility is leaving itself open to lawsuit....

    Other jobs for RN besides direct patient care?

    xoemmylouox replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Nursing Career

    Well with public health you will still have patient contact, you will have to deal with family non sense, and days with no breaks. Even in outpatient settings you will be busy, it's just a different...

    Saw a nurse yelling at a patient in ICU

    How good is your food?

    xoemmylouox posted a topic in General Nursing

    I recently was inpatient to deliver my baby. The food was terrible. I didn't expect much, but honestly this food was gross. You could only order what would fit on one plate, so you were limited on...

    Afraid to go back to work

    xoemmylouox replied to winnowill's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Try your local hospice groups for group therapy or counseling. Our local one offers many services like these even if your family did not use their agency for any services.

    Interviewing for Night Shift Charge

    xoemmylouox replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in Nursing Career

    I think you already know this wouldn't work. The extra money would be nice, however it isn't worth it if you're struggling in school and miserable. Stick to days and wait for a charge position to open...

    RN License plate

    xoemmylouox replied to esrun00's topic in General Nursing

    How is it pretentious to have a nursing license plate? It's not my thing, but I can see wanting it. I think using the word pretentious in your post is a bit pretentious especially with something so...

    Working at Methodist

    xoemmylouox replied to bae2012's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Congrats for getting out if the contract. I think IU expanded way too much recently as a whole. There are so many mergers going on right now in general that we will see more and more layoffs,...

    Thoughts on recent mass lay-offs?

    xoemmylouox replied to libran1984's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I'm not surprised at all. The ACA is the current scapegoat is all. One of the organizations, in my opinion, expanded WAY too much too soon. They are all over the state now joining with so many...

    Multidisciplinary rounds

    xoemmylouox replied to avaloncar's topic in General Nursing

    This is a great idea. I'm sure this cuts down on miscommunication between the specialists. It's great they include the nurses as well since the nurses spend more time with the patients than anyone...

    RN License plate

    xoemmylouox replied to esrun00's topic in General Nursing

    I can see why it might bother someone that she has this plate, but are you really going to do something about it? I mean who cares in the grand scheme of things. Perhaps there is something you don't...

    I work in an outpatient setting. I can tell you I do get bored with my job and think about getting back into acute care even as a PRN or part time. Keep in mind that it is busy, but a different type...
